I sure hope that isn't what it is.  I would have for them to have to require those security code boxes on the log screens.  I have a heck of a time reading them!

But, you're probably right.  Although, a well written one could have 'logged' all the virtuals in the time it took this one to find 187.  No, I won't write one to prove it.  LOL

I don't think this is a person. I think a person is responsible, but I think it's a bot...a poorly written one, but it seems to me that the log generation is faster than a normal human writes logs, the log is always written the same, and they do appear to be going somewhat alphabetically. Theres just too much structure for this to not be software. The code monkey needs to take class in fuzzy logic. And someone should report this to admin at gc.com.

Well, his log to one remaining virtual is gone. But, so is my virtual. Shadowace let me know that site is closed for maintenance. Rats. I hate shutting down virtuals.

They probably don't realize the cache owner gets an EMail of the log.
I'm pretty sure they didn't visit Quartzsite...EVER.

Nope, you can use the link to the log from the email you receive as owner

:)

 Click - direct to log - click log delete - click confirm.. Three clicks

and

poof!

Notice that he/she logged all of the caches 12/31/2007, so you have to

search

for the log to delete it.

Profile for User: The-Sledge

 He has logged everything I own as a virtual and simply wrote "Email

sent"

as the log.

 So since my virtuals require pictures I sent a polite email back

asking

for the pictures and decided to check his profile and see if it is a

visitor

or a new AZ Cacher.

 Interestingly he found 129 virtual and no physical caches:

  Member Since: Thursday, February 26, 2009  Last Visit: Thursday,

February 26, 2009

In the amount of time it took to write that much he went from 129 to

143

finds..

Virtual

Caches * 143

 ------------------------------

 **Total Caches Found* *143 *

ranging from Arizona to Alaska to Connecticut and Hawaii on the SAME

DAY

 Someone needs to help stop these fake logs :(

 I am simply going to delete any and all logs from them until they

can

provide the required information however I thought you all might want

to

know
